GriefShare

If you have lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found that there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future right now.

That’s the reason for GriefShare, a special seminar and support group for people grieving the loss of someone close. This group is sponsored by people who understand what you are experiencing and want to offer you comfort and encouragement during this difficult time.

Each GriefShare session at West Park United Methodist includes a video seminar featuring top experts on grief and recovery subjects. These videos also include on-location video and the real-life stories of people who have experienced losses like yours.

After viewing the video, you’ll participate in a small group discussion about what you’ve seen on tape. You’ll also have opportunity to interact with others who have experienced a recent loss, learn about their experiences and have the opportunity to share your own.

GriefShare is a non denominational group and features biblical teaching on grief and recovery topics.

You are welcome to begin attending the GriefShare group at any session. Each is 'self-contained,' so that you do not have to attend in sequence. You will find encouragement and help whenever you begin.

GriefShare video sessions are designed to help you successfully travel the journey from mourning to joy.
